Aces High By Patrick Flynn
One of my favourite movies. Can't recall plot or characters, just the amazing First World War flying sequences. And I'm looking for a copy. And a good enough lead into a look at one of the finest airplane toys ever made the 1930s Meccano Aeroplane Constructor.Other toymakers in Germany (Marklin, Dux) and the USA (Metalcraft, Erector) made similar sets in the 1920s and 1930s, but, to my mind, none approached the quality and range ...
Where No Toys Have Gone Before -Star Trek
By James Burrell
“Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.”
With these words – first heard on television sets across North America on September 8, 1966 - science-fiction would journey into new and unchartered territory with a TV series called Star Trek. Following the adventures of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise and its altruistic crew - led by the heroic Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), the cool and logical-minded Vulcan First Officer Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and the cantankerous yet compassion Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Star Trek depicted a 23rd century universe where humans and alien beings co-existed and worked together while endorsing values such as justice, racial tolerance and peace.

Canadian Depression Glass
By Walter Lemiski, M.A.
When one thinks of Depression Glass what automatically comes to mind is the pink, green, yellow, and crystal [that’s DG lingo for clear] that was made in the 30s and 40s by the American mega-glass companies Federal, Hocking, Hazel-Atlas, Jeannette, MacBeth-Evans, amongst others. Often overlooked, because of these Goliaths of glass, is our own home-grown Depression Glass. While our relatively David-size companies did not compete in the U.S. market much at all, they did supply thousands and thousands of Canadian households with attractive, reasonably priced glassware.
Scottish Single Malts By Reid Pickering
Those who collect and those who have collections thrust upon them: A journey into Scottish single malts.
I'm a beer drinker. I've been drinking it for 25 years. So…how did I end up with an incredible collection of 2000 plus bottles of rare single malt whisky? The year was 2008 and I had been managing a great spot in the heart of Toronto called the Rebel House but I was becoming restless and decided it was time for a change. The thing was, I had no idea what I should do or even what I could do. After all, I had spent the last 20 years working in the service industry and playing in rock bands. I didn’t have much experience in anything else. Then I received a phone call.
“I’m having lunch at a place you might know,” she said. “Where?” “The Feathers.” “Really?” “Yup.” My wife, Sarah, had also been in the service industry for many years but with the birth of our daughter had made a career change. She was now marketing real estate in service based businesses such as restaurants and bars. The Feathers is a popular pub on Kingston Rd in the Beaches area of Toronto.
The Game of Chess
By Floyd Sarisohn
As the game of chess evolved, so too did the shape and design of the chess pieces and boards. With the games growing popularity in the Western World, it was inevitable that artists and others with imagination would try to create more decorative and artistic chess sets.
